I’m not exactly sure who the best person to send this idea to would be,
so I
am just sending it to this list. My apologies if it does not belong on
here. Google just announced their 2006 Summer of Code, and they are
looking
for mentor organizations. I am going to apply, and I would really love
to
work on something Ruby-related, such as Typo, and I’m sure there are
other
people with the same attitude. I am not exactly sure of the rules for
organizations, but I think it would at least be worth looking into.
Here is the link to the Mentor FAQ:
http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html
Thanks,
–Tyler P.
P.S. I see that as of today, Ruby Central has registered as an
organization, and is looking for ideas and mentors. I’m not sure if
Typo
could/would want to go through them but it is an idea.
I can help with this, but I don’t have a clue what the rules are
fororganizations. I can ask around inside of Google if I need to.
Atthe very least, the sponsoring organization needs to exist as a
legalentity, because they get paid $500 per project that is completed.
Worst-case, Google itself can sponsor the project and I can act as
amentor. If anyone has any good project ideas that would be good for
asummer’s worth of programming, let me know.
Although, frankly, I suspect that someone could start from scratch
andre-implement all of Typo in less time then that :-).

Hi,
I think you should check out the eligibility requirements for mentor
organizations via the mentor faq at
http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html#5 - As far as I am aware the
organization need not be a non-profit or even an organization (an
individual qualifies as a mentor organization).

Hi Tyler,
I’d be delighted to see some work done on Typo (this is the engine I use
for
my blog).
I think it would be easier if you applied through rubycentral.
It would be good to have all the summer of code ruby projects gathered
by
rubycentral.
David Black created a page to gather proposals, you should add yours
there.

I’ve taken it on myself to update that page based on incoming
suggestions, and I’m a few days behind… but now adding things on.

organizations, but I think it would at least be worth looking into.
